Now what to do? You have seen some good birds and it is time to settle into a good chair and read. I have just finished a fascinating book by Jessica Speart.
Wow! Fasten your seat belts. It is a fast ride. Winged Obsession takes you into the complex world of a Fish & Wildlife Agent, Ed Newcomer. This page turner reads like a mystery but it is a true story. Learn about butterfly collecting and pigeon clubs and the dedicated agents that protect our wildlife. Sounds tame doesn't it? Well it isn't.
This is a perfect way to stay out of the heat.

I can recommend "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating" - not a novel, but about the author's observations of a land snail. She had all the time in the world when she was struck down with a health problem that left her in bed a lot, and a friend brought her a snail for her potplant. She observed this companion snail very closely, and, when she got well, did a lot of research on land snail biology and wrote this book. It's charmingly written with easily-absorbed detail. There's even an audio of the snail munching, on her website! Lovely!
I have heard about that book. It sounds great. Winged Obsession is a nonfiction book as well. It takes you through the odd world of butterfly collection. It is a fascinating read.
